+"""Test and script conveniences for this repository.
+
+This module ensures the repository's ``src`` directory is available on ``sys.path``
+without requiring editable installs. Python automatically imports ``sitecustomize``
+when present, so keeping this lightweight avoids surprises while still allowing
+local modules (for example, ``trend_analysis`` stubs) to be imported in tests and
+utility scripts.
